BlackDonald (1039), North Carolina, USA Jan 26, 2008 Rich and malty, and very drinkable. Has a lot better balance than the amber. Touch of caramel and honey sweetness, and well balanced overall. Something consistent to drink when you don’t want to put a lot of thought into your beer drinking experience. emacgee (1186), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA Oct 20, 2007 Draught at Bean and Barrel. Pours a brownish orange with a thick creamy off white head. Leaves a lace. The aroma is lightly sweet, malty,caramel, and toffee. The flavor has much more of a hop profile than I usually expect. Shows some sweetness, caramel, hop bite, more malt as it warms. Palate was waxy with a mellow carbonation. Jmichael (589), Asheville, North Carolina, USA Oct 15, 2007 pours a amber copper with mild head. flat light malty aroma leading into a similiar taste, good and light and sessionable. kp (6300), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Updated: Sep 30, 2007<b>Name:</b> Oktobrfest Marzen<br />

clear amber, fine beige head, scattered lace,
bready aroma with a touch of sweet munich malt,
rich malt flavor, bready munich character is quickly countered with lots of earthy hops, sweetness comes from behind and brings out the bready quality, <br />

Magjayran (1193), Durham, North Carolina, USA Jun 13, 2007 Copper colored beer with a nice fluffy white head. Caramel and chocolate aroma and again the flavor is surprisingly chocolatey with a bit of apple and caramel at the finish. Maybe a bit too sweet and thin but not bad.
